Toolbar Implement Parts -- Ferguson and other sources

Sun Sep 30, 2012 8:58 pm

Sources for toolbar and cultivator parts, clamps, etc. don't seem obvious. Years ago another farmer told me "Try Ferguson, they're the only name I know." And I do know their 3-pt cultivator frames, but I couldn't find them on the internet at all. However, a few days ago I stumbled across their website on another forum: http://www.fergusonmfgco.com/products.htm! Maybe you all know of the company already, but I'm excited to find that they still exist after all.

Anybody have experience with them? They sell a wedge bolt clamp to fit cub toolbars (under "accessories") -- maybe it's better than the one from Agrisupply, which people said is cheap from China and doesn't fit right?

In case people are interested, here are other sources I've found:Ferguson, http://www.fergusonmfgco.com/products.htm -- They have all manner of clamps, including wedge bolts, and they seem good for vegetable cultivation tools like spring tooth tines with round standards, spring-trip standards, disk hillers, etc. Probably it's still better to buy old cub cultivator parts, but I'm happy to see a source for them new.

Buckeye Tractor Co, http://www.buctraco.com/index.html -- they've made up all sorts of toolbar-based tractor implements, and presumably sell all the parts, though prices for individual pieces seem steeper than elsewhere. They have some neat stuff though, good to look at for inspiration. They seem to be the midwest's version of Rainflo, Nolt's, Martin's, and Market Farm, the PA vegetable-implement sellers.

Anybody have other good sources to pass on?

BTW I haven't actually ordered many of these things, and have no connection to these companies.

Thanks David. I have been too busy to really spend much time on the forum, so I didn't see your post till now. I've been trying to find a source for a clamp for my Cub-3 Toolbar to mount a shovel to make rows and dig potatoes. Looks like Ferguson may have something, and who knows what else I can dream up!

Hey Tinnerjohn:

how about posting some pictures of the Cub-3 Toolbar? I've never seen one and I would like to see what it looks like. Thanks,

Brichter, I am . Thats a Cub 6 Toolbar. The Cub 3 is a field cultivator. I'm not up to speed of posting pictures, but Rudi's manual forum has both manuals with pictures. John
